Bobby Holik wouldn't name a (Christmas) song. He said: "Music means nothing to me." When Tom Gulitti of the Record suggested he'd be called Scrooge, Holik said: "It won't be the first time." -Bobby Holik Christmas 2008

Asham's a pain in the ass to play against, and he can be moved to whatever line needs him most. He saw time with Yashin on the top pairing (and again on the 4th line, heh). He's willing to drop the gloves if need be, too.

This is the best way to describe our moves this year. But it should have been June, not October.

Could have been that Asham wanted too much at first? Or maybe Lou was deciding between Rass and Ash....

My feelings exactly. I watch a lot of Islander games (when I am not watching the Devs of course) and he is a good pickup

I kind of feel bad for Rass cause I liked him. If Lou does sign him it will get real interesting...
